Newhouse Votes to Protect Abortion Survivors

In remarks delivered on the House floor, Rep. Newhouse stated that the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act“would ensure that children who survive an abortion – or attempted abortion – are given proper medical treatment. I am proud to cosponsor this bill to ensure that babies born alive are transported and admitted to a hospital immediately following emergency care. As a Christian and a father of two, I hold maintaining the sanctity of life as my highest priority. The House of Representatives voted to pass this legislation in the 114th Congress, but it was met with an unresponsive Senate. I will vote again to support this bill to hold healthcare providers accountable, protect and empower mothers, and help ensure that these innocent children are provided the same medical care that any other newborn would receive. I remain hopeful that, this time around, we can send this important legislation to the President’s desk to be signed into law.”
